Focus on the manufacturing industry

Leadec sells Veltec to Plant Systems & Services PSS GmbH

Stuttgart/Niedernberg, 2018-11-23 – Plant Systems & Services PSS GmbH has acquired the Veltec Group from the Leadec Group – subject to the fulfillment of standard conditions. Leadec will completely focus on its strategic growth targets in the manufacturing industry, while Veltec will strengthen its position in the process industry with this strategic partner.

“We want to make sure that Veltec can exploit its full growth and development potential,” says Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of the Leadec Group. “It was important for us to find a partner for Veltec who would preserve the company in its entirety and offer a stable home. I am very pleased that this is the case with Plant Systems & Services PSS GmbH.” Closing will take place after clearance by the competition authorities. It has been agreed to maintain silence on the framework conditions of the sale.

The Leadec Group is focusing on expanding the market position of its Leadec group division in the manufacturing industry. As a result, the company is now selling the Veltec group division, which provides services to the process industry. The lack of synergies between the two divisions and their difference in size – Leadec employs around 20,000 people while Veltec employs about 1,000 – require different structures and processes. With the new owner, Veltec can fully exploit its growth and development goals in the process industry.

Plant Systems & Services PSS GmbH (PSS) is the holding company for a group of specialized companies that provide services for the energy and process industry, such as for power plants and chemical and steel companies, waste incineration plants and district heating suppliers. The range of services includes engineering, servicing, repair and maintenance, and the retrofitting and conversion of existing facilities, subsystems and components.

The signing took place on November 23, 2018. The Veltec Group is to be taken over retroactively as of December 31, 2017. The sale will have no impact on Veltec’s current projects and framework contracts. They will be performed with the same high quality and new projects will also be started. The operational contact persons for Veltec’s customers will remain the same.

In this transaction, Leadec received legal advice from Freshfields with Dr. Natascha Doll in charge and M&A advice from Clearwater International
under the direction of Ralph Schmücking. PSS received legal advice from GvW Graf von Westphalen with Dr. Malte J. Hiort in charge.
